Two of the best frame purchases I've made in the last year were a 60's Cinelli SC from Poland and a 60's Patelli Special from Hungry. Both were packed better than anything I've bought from a US seller/collector, were priced fairly, and the shipping was not outrageous. Of course both seller's had excellent feedback and photos, and the frames were priced in US dollars, so not a big risk. It would depend on the dealer though, just like buying domestically.
